Smartpad for Pocket PC now available [PDABuzz.com] At first I thought this product was some kind of joke, but then I realized that it actually makes sense for a Palm user. I'm not so sure about PocketPC, though. For quite a while I've been laughing at the Palm owners who show up for a meeting with a pad of yellow paper, and their PDA eithers sits unused on the table or gets left in their office. This product must have been developed by people who had observed the same thing. Of course, for the $169 they're charging, you could just buy a MessagePad 2100 (at current prices) and take notes on your actual PDA, no paper required. comment () trackback ()  10:34:04 AM     O'Reilly: The Changing Mac Community [MacSlash: A daily dose of Macintosh News and Discussion] Some interesting comments about changes in the Mac community as OS X turns it into a Unix community. Personally, I despise OS X. I'll stick to the Mac OS on my personal systems, because the Mac OS is still the best desktop OS out there for people who just want to use their computers quickly and easily. If I wanted to waste time struggling with a bad interface and fragile OS, I'd switch to Windows, which at least has lots of games and is faster than the Mac OS (OS X is much slower). I've been working in Mac software development since 1995, and OS X has prompted me to move on. I'm also interested in PDAs and wireless technology, so I will be heading in that direction. comment () trackback ()  9:56:24 AM
